CyberBullying

So I have not written a blog post for quite a while, so I decided I will write a post about CyberBullying:

CyberBullying is when someone uses the internet or a mobile to purposely upset someone else. This is a form of bullying and you shouldn't have to put up with it.


What is the difference?
This type of bullying can affect someone not just at school, but at home as too. This is because it always takes place in the online environment, because it is online it can be used at anytime.
Sometimes it can be difficult to find out who the cyberbully is because they could block their number or use another name. This type of bullying can have a large audience, but most won't know that it is actually bullying. This could be known as indirect bullying.
A good thing about this kind of bullying is that it can be used as evidence. Normal bullying can be the bullies word against yours, but with cyberbullying you can save the messages or web pages and print them out. This can be used as evidence to find out who the bully is and stop them bullying other people too.

What Should You Do?
You should:

  1. Save all the messages or web pages. If you have upsetting emails or nasty things put on your profile save them to your phone or computer so you can use it as evidence.
  2. Learn how to block the bully. (I suggest you keep the contacts and find a way to block them as by keeping the contacts you will know who it is if they do it again)
  3. Don't reply to things that are said; it could make the situation worse. If you ignore them they will get bored and give up. If they get a reaction from you they have won. Don't give them what they want, We know this is hard but most people find it works.
  4. If you are being bothered via your mobile phone, you should contact your phone provider. Each company has a special area for problems like this.

I hope this helps and remember we are:
